Well, this is it everyone! Doug and I are packing tonight for our trip home in the morning. I can't wait to get home! I can't wait for Briana to meet our family and friends!I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who followed our journey in China. I received so many wonderful e-mails and comments. I wish I could have responded to everyone, but I was so busy with Miss Briana.
We took the oath at the consulate today and got Briana's immigration paperwork. We are all set to head home.
Here are a few photos of red couch day...

She is so cute in the little red dress.
I saw a lady with toddler twins adopted from China at the Chick-fil-A on Barrett the other day while I was home visiting. Made me smile just thinking that Briana may be playing on that same slide someday soon.
Have a safe trip home.
What great photos, and that smile of Briana is to cute. Safe trip home. Thanks for letting us follow along.

Thank you so much for keeping us in the loop with stories and pictures. You are probably in flight as I write this - I hope you are having a good trip.
Sending our love!!!!
Absolutely love Briana's outfit, complete with matching shoes! Excellent style choice Mummy and DAddy!!!
Poor Briana, doesn't look at all comfy on the red couch! Unless she has food in hand!
Safe travels home! Briana is indeed one "hot babe"!!!
Have a safe trip home..as a family at last :0)
Have a safe trip home as a family of three! I can't tell you how incredible following your journey is... You posted SO MUCH! A personal thanks on behalf of all us waiting moms :)
Ah....hte memories of the White Swan.....so glad things are going well! ;)
Apparently, Emily Grace is a "Spicy girl" too! We got that a lot too and I kept wondering how they knew she was "spicy" ha ha (until it was explained to me) Emily has Squeaky shoes too and don't worry you will love them (especially when she is walking all over the place...it will help you keep up with where she is) :-)
Congratulations again!! Briana is beautiful!!
Can't wait to meet her!! I love the "all smiles" pic.. too cute!!
Amy
Are you home yet?
Are you home yet?
Cute pictures!!! Have a very safe trip home! And you might laugh at me when I say this, but I honestly think Briana looks a lot like her momma!!!
Heading home is quite a chore! Enjoy the down town time when you get home.
